Spring Break, The Yale Herald

From a staff piece about our favorite Spring Break A&E related things:


If I had to make a mix tape, er, CD, er, iTunes playlist to reflect my spring break experience, it would consist of one song and one song only. Beyoncé, Beyoncé, Beyoncé. Oh wait—that’s not a song title. But it might as well be, because whenever I hear the name Beyoncé, I see cherubs holding banners of periwinkle and starshine, I hear the swelling of an orchestra, the joyous harmonies of song birds, and what I can only assume to be the voice of God crying out, “To the left! To the left!” I spent the first week of break on tour with The Yale Ex!t Players. We had many a late-night dance session to the song “Irreplaceable,” marveling that the woman who once sang “can you pay my automo-bills” could cause so much rapture. I’m convinced that this song unites people and causes such instantaneous joy that if it were to be played over loudspeakers around the world, in war-torn regions AK-47s would be dropped in order to signal to the left, to the left, and the mass bootyshaking would cause an earthquake bigger than Northridge ’94.
